Riverside county to fund reforestation near Santa Ana range
Forest Supervisor Sloan appeals for local support to match a $1,000 Riverside County contribution to a regional reforestation and fire prevention program on the Santa Ana range. Temescal Water Co. pledges $1,600 if others raise $500, while San Diego and neighboring counties have already contributed. A fire-break will be cut atop the range with trails to enable rapid access for firefighters, and Uncle Sam may scale back operations if local funds fail to materialize. A social event followed at Masonic hall with an informal dancing party hosted by Mr and Mrs E J Genereux.
